Configuration Selection

The ToughEye-1700™ supports network and analog video streams. Selection of the appropriate
stream is an important consideration.

The network stream provides simpler connections, higher resolution video, and accessibility to
the stream from any device connected to the same network. We recommend using the
network stream in the following scenarios:

1. The stream must be viewed remotely | See Network Configuration A-1

2. The stream must be viewed on the equipment and an on-equipment display exists which
is powered by a computer (ie. Panel PC or Dispatch system) | See Network

Configuration A-1

It is important to note that IP video has inherent latency due to video compression. The
ToughEye-1700™ latency is tested at approximately 150ms1, so only in applications where this
latency can be tolerated is the network stream recommended.

The analog streams are lower resolution and more prone to noise, however, they can be
connected to almost any new or existing analog monitor or DVR. We recommend using the
analog stream in the following scenarios:

1. The stream must be viewed on the equipment, no existing display is installed, and all
connections will be made in a harsh environment requiring IP6x | See Analog

Configuration B-1

2. The stream must be viewed on the equipment, no existing display is installed, and the
wiring connections can be made in an existing enclosed IP6x environment | See Analog

Configuration B-2

3. The stream must be viewed on the equipment and an existing analog display with open

channels exists | See Analog Configuration B-3

1. Latency tested by directly plugging a short Cat-5e cable to a laptop and streaming 1080p H.264 video onto the IP Cam Viewer 4 software at 30fps. Note
that depending on the network environment, bit rate, server specification, and viewing software, the measured latency may differ from this rating

Network Configuration A-1

For more information, please contact [e-mail] or 1-800-914-3193

12

This configuration allows any Cat-5e cable to be used to power and communicate with the
ToughEye-1700™ camera. No custom cabling is required to be routed, as the Cat-5e cable
plugs into the custom short adapter cable for plug and play functionality.

Option 1

This option is the simplest configuration shown in the figure above and uses an endspan
IEEE802.3at (PoE+) compliant power sourcing equipment (PSE) to provide power to the
camera through the same Cat-5e cable use for data transmission.

Option 2

This option is optimal for applications with existing network switches that are not IEEE802.3at
compliant. In this configuration, a midspan PoE+ injector can be used (see Accessories section
earlier in this document for ordering information) in-line between the switch and the camera as
shown above. The injector accepts a 12~24VDC input and supplies PoE+ power to the camera
while also transmitting the data signals.

This configuration is designed to be simple to install and configure:

1. From an IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE+ PSE (power sourcing equipment) - either an
endspan switch or midspan injector - route a Cat-5e or better cable to the
ToughEye-1700™. Ensure the routed cable is appropriately rated for your application
(temperature, ingress protection, ruggedness, etc).

2. Once the cable has been routed to within 1m of the camera, it can be plugged into the
waterproof Cat-5e adapter. For details on usage of the Cat-5e adapter please refer to
section Sealed In-line RJ45 Coupler.

3. The PoE Adapter Cable [AC17-RJ45] can now be plugged into the ToughEye-1700™
camera.

Network Configuration A-2

System Diagram using IP style Main Cable

For more information, please contact [e-mail] or 1-800-914-3193

13

This configuration provides multiple options for powering the camera and triggering the
self-cleaning action. Note: It is highly recommended that the cable be installed into an electrical

cabinet via an appropriately sized cable gland. The IP style main cable jacket is 12mm (0.47”) in
diameter.

Option 1

● In this option, DC voltage is used to power the camera; refer to the Powering the
ToughEye-1700™ section for a detailed powering guide. Connect the positive and
negative terminals to the appropriate wires using the wire labels as a guide. The
MC17-SC-XXM-X-IP cable drawing can also be referenced.

● If the external trigger wire is being used in the application, connect the trigger wire to an
appropriate switch, PLC, etc. Note that the trigger is internally pulled to the camera’s
ground. Refer to the Triggering the ToughEye-1700™ section for triggering details.

● Route the main cable to the ToughEye-1700™ camera, or to an optional extension
cable. If an extension cable is used, it should be connected in-line between the main
cable and the camera. Note: Care should be taken to properly secure routed cables.

Use of conduit, cable clamps or appropriately rated cable ties is recommended.

Option 2

● In this option, a PoE+ compliant (IEEE 802.3at) PSE is used to power the camera,
making the connection much cleaner.

● Connect the main cable’s RJ45 connector into the PSE’s PoE+ output port, and route the
main cable to the ToughEye-1700™ camera. Note: Care should be taken to properly

secure routed cables. Use of conduit, cable clamps or appropriately rated cable ties is
recommended.
